UN climate report on the ongoing trend of global warming
The World Meteorological Organization has released a report on climate change ahead of the Glasgow climate conference. According to the report, the Earth's temperature has reached its warmest period in the past seven years since climate records began.
The Glasgow climate summit begins on November 1. Ahead of the conference, the World Meteorological Organization has published its report.
The report states that the trend of global warming continues. Although 2021 was slightly colder than previous years, UN experts have reported that global warming is continuing.
According to this report, the Earth's temperature at the end of September this year was more than one degree warmer than the average for the period 1850 to 1900. It should be noted that the calculation and recording of Earth's temperature began in 1850.
In 2016, the Earth's temperature was even 1.2 degrees Celsius higher than the aforementioned period. 2019 and 2020 were also recorded as warm years overall.
The World Meteorological Organization's report indicates that since the Earth's temperature was recorded, the past seven years have been the warmest years on record compared to the years before that.
The same report also notes that sea levels are also rising. For example, sea levels rose by 4.4 millimeters per year in the eight-year period from 2013 to 2021, compared to 2.2 millimeters between 1993 and 2002.
The cause of the rise in sea levels should be sought, among other things, in the melting of icebergs due to rising global temperatures.
